		<description><![CDATA[I live in a neighborhood that has both a HOA and a Member Equity Country Club . The neighborhood by-laws make it mandatory for homeowners to be at least a social member of the club. There is now high interest by Donald Trump to purchase our club. This would eliminate control by the equity members and pass it to Trump.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A spark from a fire I thought was out accidentally caused damage to my neighbor's garden.  My homeowners insurer is taking their time getting back to me and in the meantime, the neighbors have taken liberties with the repairs and billed me for what I think is an excessive amount.  How should I take care of this?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The developer/builder of our subdivision signed an annexation agreement with the village 8 years ago.  There was also CC&#038;Rs that were attached that expired after 5 years and were never renewed. The village is stating that there is a natural pond that may have to be maintained in the event it affects the storm sewers.  They are maintaining that we have to form an association or they will sue the homeowners for any work they will have to do to maintain the "natural" pond. ]]></description>

We agreed to allow the easement and detention pond subject to the execution of 2 agreements drawn up by the developer: (1) Option to Purchase Real Estate with a scheduled execution date of Sept. 2005, and (2) Agreement of Intent to Develop Real Estate which specified a scheduled execution date of Feb. 2006, and which he signed. ]]></description>
